PRODUCT PROFILE
Clothes talk. They say a lot about you. They tell stories. It‟s up to you to decide how interesting you want those tales to be. When it comes to non-verbal communication, clothes are at the top of the totem pole. So it pays to pay a little attention to what you are wearing.
Shirts frame you for the world. It‟s true. A shirt sets you apart. If your shirt creates the right setting for your face, then heads will turn. So how do you choose the right shirt for you? The wide choices available can be confusing and could easily mislead you. To pick the perfect dress shirt, start with the colour. Pick the colour that complements you best. The print and pattern are embellishments that work with the colour. Once you have decided on the aesthetics of the shirt, then it is time to worry about the architecture. Design and cut are critical. Based on your body type, pick a style that envelopes you with elegance. Don‟t be afraid to explore. Look at patterns and models. Because, no effort is too much when you want to look just right.
Choosing the Right Colour Black All Through
Black is beautiful. It is one colour that is both classic and contemporary at the same time. This is the colour of ceremony and pomp. It holds and sets off other colors. Suits. Tuxedos. Neck Ties. Shirts. Trousers. Black can grace them all with exquisite dignity. The best news of all is that black can be accessorized like no other colour can.

Black As A Staple
Black is an absolute must when it comes to a fine suit. No color serves as well as a nicely constructed suit in black. Creating a contrast to the black suit helps build a compelling look that immediately attracts attention and separates one from the rest of the other gentlemen in the room. A black suit looks incredible with a vibrant pink, red, aqua, or pistachio colored shirt, and a matching tie.
Black as an Accent
Black is commonly found as an accent color in blazers, dress shirts, footwear, and accessories such as cufflinks and tie bars. In footwear, black is often used as an accent color in the stitching of any given pair of shoes. In accessories, black has always been popular with both gold and silver accessories.
White All Through
White has always been typified both in decor and in fashion as a fresh, clean color that does much to brighten a mood. White is a staple color in any man‟s wardrobe. However, it must also be remembered that white is a fantastic accent color that really adds a vibrant, bold tone to a conservative outfit.
White as a Staple
The dress shirt is the most common and the perfect example of the use of the color white as a staple. If there is one shirt in particular that one can afford
DR.AMBEDKER COLLEGE, SHIMOGA Page 36 to splurge on, it is the white dress shirt. The white dress shirt gives you a clean, crisp and classic look and matches any color suit, in any season, at any event.
White as an Accent
White really comes into play in men‟s fashion as an accent color, most often in the form of chalk stripes or pinstripes. Pinstripes are becoming increasingly popular in men‟s wardrobes as they are an expressive, bold feature that looks great on just about every size and shape. Executive collars, or contrast collars, are also seeing a return to popularity. In the modern era these collars and cuffs can be found on everything from green, to orange, to pink, to black and even on shirts with a very bold stripe.
Trousers Complete The Picture
Not only are well appointed and properly fitted trousers and footwear extremely important to the overall look and image of any particular outfit, they are integral to your comfort throughout the day.
Considerations of Colour
Colour plays a very important role in styling your attire. Whether they are dress, casual, denim or any other fabric, trousers are ultimately the most important part of any man‟s wardrobe. Socks should as far as possible, match the trouser being worn. The colour of the belt should at all times, match the footwear. In the case of black trousers, make sure you wear a black belt and black shoes.

Prints, Varieties and Styles
Trousers that furl into folds at the bottom look clownish, while trousers that are too short and reveal the socks make for a tasteless look. With regards to formal or dress trousers, the recommendation is for pinstripes or chalk stripes, both widely popular and extremely stylish and in tune with current fashion trends.
How To Dress Up For A Work Party
If the party is taking place at a general restaurant or a pub, it is recommended that one wears at least a pair of dress jeans or casual slacks, and a collared shirt. Blue jeans or work jeans are simply out of the question, as are t-shirts. More formal occasions call for a blazer or, in the case of a fine-dining restaurant, a full suit. In cases where most men are likely to wear a collared shirt and dress pants, add a blazer.
Formal Trousers Collection

The power of your stance, or the grace of your walk is directly linked to how well your trousers have been cut and crafted. Oxemberg prides itself on constructing trousers as close to perfection as you can get. Finely crafted trousers with smooth feel fabrics and a graceful fall define the formal trouser collection.
